Gucci × Hirohiko Araki × Spur (GUCCI × HIROHIKO ARAKI × SPUR), also known as the Rohan Kishibe Goes to Shinjuku Exhibition (「岸辺露伴 新宿に行く」展, Kishibe Rohan Shinjuku ni iku-ten), was an exhibit held in Shinjuku, Tokyo from September 17 to October 6, 2011 at the Shinjuku Takano Building.[1]

Announced on August 23, 2011, it was a collaboration between the fashion company Gucci, the women's fashion magazine SPUR and manga author Hirohiko Araki.[1]

The event's main highlight was their first collaborative comic, Kishibe Rohan Meets Gucci, a short graphic novel that celebrated the reopening of Gucci Shinjuku, the 90th anniversary of Gucci and the 30th anniversary of Hirohiko Araki.[1]

Summary

The exhibition was held on the third Floor of the Gucci Shinjuku Building with free admission. Upon entering, a promptly lit wall was presented, displaying all sixteen original pages of Kishibe Rohan Meets Gucci along with some newer paintings by Hirohiko Araki. The rest of the exhibit showcased Gucci goods that were featured in the one-shot comic for purchase and as well as a life-size statue of the character Rohan Kishibe.

Trivia

  • On June 24, 2023, two supposed original paintings from Kishibe Rohan Meets Gucci went for auction in Italy.[2] According to the item listing, the paintings were given to the project manager of the exhibit by Araki and were put up for auction by his family after he had passed away. Despite this, none of the artworks were ever sold.[3]
